It's not that it's false, but that the evidence is not clear one way or the other -- it's just speculation at the moment. We do know that programs like ELIZA, crude as they were, made many people feel that something worthwhile was taking place. In one case, a test subject asked Weizenbaum (ELIZA's originator) to leave the room so she could have a private conversation with the therapist.
